    Last week’s photo explained:<\/p>\n

    \"What\u2019s<\/p>\n

    This week\u2019s image comes from the Jun. 11, 2010 \u201cPictures of the Day: South Africa and Elsewhere<\/a>\u201d on the New York Times Lens blog. The original caption reads:<\/p>\n

    \n

    Costa Rica\u2019s education minister, Leonardo Garnier, authorized all schools across the country to have a television in their classrooms to watch the World Cup matches. A class in San Jos\u00e9 watched Mexico and South Africa play.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Juan Carlos Ulate<\/a>\u00a0is the photographer.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    b.) Literacy*<\/h2>\n

    Please refer to Monday\u2019s blog post for instructions on the father\u2019s day poem we are working on. We have become aware that finding 6 triple-scoop words might be overdoing it! Please aim for a\u00a0minimum of 2 triple-scoop words<\/strong>\u00a0per line.<\/p>\n

    Once you have completed the draft, publish a good copy of the poem. You might type this up on the computer (and print) or hand write it with your best printing.<\/p>\n

    Please refer to this template for your poem:<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m Talking Dad Poetry Plan \u2013 Int.<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0this link<\/a>\u00a0if the document does not open for you.<\/p>\n

    c.) Reflection*<\/h2>\n

    As you know, we usually have \u201cTea with Ms. D\u201d at the end of the term to have a chat and reflect on your term. Unfortunately, that is not possible during this term. Instead, I would like you to complete the following reflection on your term:<\/p>\n

    Student Thoughts and Reflections<\/a><\/p>\n

    This is a mandatory assignment that will be part of your progress report for the term. Please complete by the end of the week (or sooner \u2014 sooner is better for this one :))<\/p>\n

    d.) Project for *you know who* *<\/h2>\n

    During Office Hours and Sharing Circle last week, we talked about a secret project we have for *you know who*. Please refer to MS Teams \u201cAssignments\u201d to find out what I am talking about. This is due ASAP. Please ask me or a friend in the class if you are confused about what I am talking about.<\/p>\n

    e.) Math<\/h2>\n

    Please continue your math program.
    \nKhan Academy, IXL, worksheets, etc.<\/p>\n

    If you would like support\/guidance on a math program, please contact me<\/p>\n

    Extensions (optional)<\/h1>\n

    f.) Genius Hour (optional)<\/h2>\n

    Continue your Genius Hour project. You may want to focus on your \u201cweird animal\u201d this week.\u00a0 This is an ongoing project. If you have completed it or are just starting, here is the planning sheet to start a new inquiry:\u00a0Genius Hour Planning Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n

    Follow these steps:
    \nBrainstorm<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 what topics interest you? Write down topics that interest you (e.g. birds, palm trees, global warming, Jupiter, etc\u2026). Select one to focus on this week.<\/p>\n

    Question<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 What\u00a0deep<\/strong>\u00a0questions do you wish to explore on your topic? (e.g. how do birds fly?)<\/p>\n

    Research<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 How are you going to find answers to your questions? With limited variety of resources, it will likely be online or an interview with an \u201cexpert\u201d on the topic (perhaps family\/friends).<\/p>\n

    Present<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 How are you going to share your knowledge? Please come up with a a way to briefly present your project. This may be through a speech, slideshow, poster, poem, comic, video, song, etc.<\/p>\n

    Share<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Practice your presentation and share \u2014 either to me, family\/friends, to the class during Sharing Circle.<\/p>\n

    Please follow the following planning sheet to guide you through your planning and\u00a0 research.<\/p>\n

    Have a good day,<\/p>\n
